Halo Spartan Assault

I picked up Halo Spartan Assault for a few bucks when it was on the Steam Sale the other week. I didn't really know anything about it, but I've had fun in the Halo universe many times in the past so I figured it couldn't hurt.

Well, I played it and found a fairly mediocre twin-stick shooter. It plays fine with either mouse+keyboard or gamepad. It's set in the Halo universe. You move with one stick and shoot with the other. All the weapons and enemies are themed on Halo.

And that's about all there is to it.

I guess I was expecting more. It truly underwhelmed me. If you're a die-hard Halo fan who loves twin-stick shooters then this game is perfect for you. If you're anyone else you shouldn't waste your money here.

That billing fits me pretty well and I was still too bored to finish this game. I wish they would do a sequel to the Halo RTS and bring it to PC. People lampooned it at the time for being a console RTS, but it worked well. Besides, no one makes RTSes on the PC anymore either, so I'd love to see even a "dumbed down" one.

It seems like a RTS would be a much better fit for the PC than a Twin-stick shooter.

Personally, I just wish they would port the whole Halo series to PC. I played all the games on Xbox and Xbox 360 but I don't see myself getting an Xbox One anytime soon. Microsoft should just put Halo out on their console and their PCs.
